Key messages for visitors to care homes
- To minimise the risk of respiratory infections this winter, have your flu and COVID-19 booster to build antibodies and boost your immunity!
- Protect our vulnerable adults and care staff when visiting a care home. Wear a mask as requested by the care home to reduce the risk of infections.
- Use the hand rub provided when entering and leaving the home.
- Please help us to protect your relative or friend. Some of our residents could become seriously ill if they catch flu or COVID-19.
Please do not enter the care home if:
- You have any respiratory symptoms
- You have experienced diarrhoea or vomiting in the past 48 hours
- You have tested positive for COVID-19 in past 10 days
- You have been in contact with someone with COVID in the past 10 days
Please do take the test if it is offered to you before you enter the care home. The care home may ask you to take a COVID-19 test until you can show a negative result.
Please let the care home know if you test positive for COVID-19 in the 48 hours after your visit in case you have passed on an infection in the care home.
